| 10:07.59 | Avengence | djszapi: so, device backup is then not portable to a new device. |
| 10:08.53 | Avengence | djszapi: when you asked about someone from US, you mean living there now or had come from there at some point? |

I tried to write an email to the company, called Creative Labs, but they did not answer it either. I was about to call them, but wanted to first know whether the call prices are the same inside the US altogether so that I could ask a familiar for this call. |
| 10:10.50 | djszapi | (Creative Labs seems to reside in the US for making it explicitely clear) |
| 10:12.40 | Avengence | ah, calls from abbroad to US are generally all the same price. if you have ability to call from a phone in US, then cost is either free or whatever the rate is for long distance according to the service on that phone. |

| 10:17.15 | Avengence | ok, 800 is totally free to call from anyt phone in the us, but you can't call it internationally. 405 you can call international, you can call from the US and there may be a charge if the number you are calling from is outside 405 area code. depends if you pay for long disttance by use, typical for non-business landline, or pay for all calls by time, typocal for cell phones |
| 10:19.50 | djszapi | ok, thanks. I can ask one friend to call them since it is probably at least 10-20 minutes initially for them to realize where to redirect the person in such a big company. =) |

| 10:29.24 | Avengence | if you have a gmail account that google hasnt yet flagged as outside the US, you can call with google voice from the gmail page |
| 10:29.44 | djszapi | some constant data is encrypted with sim to get key, so you need to use sim to get key, so it cannot be read out |
| 10:30.23 | Avengence | that's what i was thinking, have to ask sim to decrypt some wrapped key but can't actually get anything out of the sim |
| 10:30.36 | djszapi | I have a djszapi@archlinux.us gmail address ;-) |
| 10:31.23 | Avengence | so try calling that way, it'll either be free or if they think you are outside US then they will say you have to pay 1cent/minute |
| 10:32.22 | Avengence | i guess the restore backup to different device with same sim works for if the phone dies, but still leaves you stuck if the phone gets stolen or the sim is otherwise unusable |
| 10:37.32 | djszapi | you can use up to 7 sims, in stolen device case most important is that passwords cannot be get out of device than user losing backuped passwords |
| 10:41.26 | Avengence | ideal design: ALL user data is on encrypted filesystem. filesystem keys are wrapped using login password. login password unwraps keys to mount filesystem, but password isn't stored anywhere. the backup is the fs image plus wrapped keys. backup is fully portable and user data is very difficult to retrieve from stolen device, especially if too many failed attempts blow away the wrapped keys |
| 10:41.28 | *** join/#harmattan Venemo (~Timur@fedora/Venemo) |
| 10:46.49 | djszapi | yes, that was on original design, backup had passphrase to open it, but to make ui simple, that dialog was dropped. And leaving tie to sim as only portable way to open backup |
| 10:48.13 | SpeedEvil | SIM or IMSI? |
| 10:48.30 | Avengence | when you said that loosing stored passwords from backup in stolen case is ok, my thought is what about the rest of the backup? is the rest of the data not encrypted, or is it also inaccessible from backup in that case? |
| 10:49.30 | SpeedEvil | Avengence: Read errors are expected. |
| 10:49.31 | Avengence | there is a LOT more than just stored passwords that I want to have inaccessible to anyone else that might take physical posession of my phone. and by inaccesible, I mean encrypted and potentially overwritten in case of attack |
| 10:50.23 | SpeedEvil | Avengence: The onenand is specified something like 'xMb of blocks without errors exceeding the threshold after 100000 writes' |
| 10:50.36 | Avengence | SpeedEvil: read errors from flash is expected, but in that case the block should be removed from use. so I was wondering, does linux report address accurately, meaning that is same block failing again and again, and if so, whu isn't it reallocated? |
| 10:50.51 | SpeedEvil | Subthreshold errors do not trigger marking as a bad block, as it's not. |
| 10:51.18 | SpeedEvil | It's only once they get close to being uncorrectable that they do |
| 10:51.25 | djszapi | metadata is plain text, but passwords are in encrypted, that protection is done by lock code |
| 10:51.48 | Avengence | if it requires ECC correction to read, then its going bad and better to get the data out now rather than wait until enough bits are bad that it can't be read without errors |
| 10:51.57 | SpeedEvil | Avengence: Doesn't work that way |
| 10:52.10 | SpeedEvil | Avengence: There are specified error rates for 'good' blocks. |
| 10:52.52 | djszapi | and it does what you ask for, but without lockcode most of data can be get out of phone. |
| 10:52.53 | SpeedEvil | According to the manufacturer of the NAND. |
| 10:53.16 | Avengence | wonders if adherence to the specified error rates have anything to do with the miserably short life of SSDs and SD cards before unrecoverable read errors make the devices useless |
| 10:53.20 | SpeedEvil | There are specified in the datasheet thresholds, and what you should do on a correctable block. |
| 10:53.47 | Avengence | djszapi: metadata is in clear, but what about stuff like contact list, mailbox, etc? are those encrypted or clear? |
| 10:53.48 | SpeedEvil | With SD/SSD, you're more vulnerable than with onenand. |
| 10:53.56 | SpeedEvil | With onenand, blocks go explicitly bad. |
| 10:54.29 | djszapi | if you insert lock code incorrect multiple times, clear device is used to clear all stored data from it |
| 10:54.36 | djszapi | this is called "wiping". |
| 10:54.57 | SpeedEvil | With SSD/SD - blocks are always fictionally ideal, and work fine, up until the spare space to replace failed blocks is exhausted at which point you get irrecoverable block errors with no warning. |
| 10:55.09 | djszapi | and there is a syslog entry nowadays about it as well, why the swiping happened. |
| 10:55.14 | SpeedEvil | With unpredictable other side-effects. |
| 10:56.50 | Avengence | djszapi: lock code is good an all, but other concern is when the flash is read directly. is that user data stored encrypted or clear on the flash? |
| 10:57.19 | djszapi | I cannot remember which part of data is protected with aegisfs, but some of those are |
| 10:57.46 | djszapi | <PROTECTED> |
| 10:58.26 | Avengence | SpeedEvil: when I worked with raw nand some time ago, one error was enough for us to flag it bad and reallocate. it was not this onenand, but I don't really trust manufacturer claims about flash cells. I see errors far too easily and the results are always bad |
| 10:58.58 | SpeedEvil | Avengence: Well - one error is specified as OK. You're supposed to use the ECC. |
| 10:59.33 | djszapi | in terminal: "df" -> and looks like MyDocs is aegisfs |
| 11:00.09 | Avengence | I've had SD cards start corrupting data within a month of use and formatting sometimes helps but only for a while. I've had SSDs fail in weeks, one within 2 days, and one was basically DOA. All those failed SSDs returned bad data or no data on reads with no warning and apparently no attempt to reallocate at all |
| 11:00.25 | djszapi | (so most of things are encrypted on flash) |
| 11:00.27 | SpeedEvil | Avengence: Problem is you don't know that. |
| 11:00.50 | SpeedEvil | Avengence: You have no insight as to what the underlying controller is doing to the raw NAND. |
| 11:00.54 | jonni | basicly passwords are the only data that is quite safe, all the meta data is quite open (since you can bypass devicelock screen with few tricks) |
| 11:01.14 | Avengence | djszapi: would be MUCH better is /home/user was encrypted. MyDocs has little of importance, compared to say /home/user/.qmf which is not protected as far as I can tell |
| 11:01.45 | jonni | and would be much slower :) |
| 11:01.56 | SpeedEvil | jonni: Not really. |
| 11:02.14 | SpeedEvil | Maybe use more power |
| 11:02.21 | Avengence | SpeedEvil: I have no insight on SSD/SD, but since I know how raw nand works and have written code to deal with it many years ago, I know that these devices are clearly NOT dealing with it correctly, otherwise they would not have the massive failure rate I've seen |
| 11:02.24 | SpeedEvil | But the chip has a crypto core |

| 11:04.00 | Avengence | SpeedEvil: you mean on my N9 or on the SSd/SD devices I've seen crap out FAR faster than any spinning disk? |
| 11:04.01 | djszapi | best would be that everything is encrypted, but that will also cost in performance |

| 11:04.36 | Avengence | i can't tell in either case, not enough data is exposed |
| 11:04.45 | SpeedEvil | Avengence: Unless you have both source, and logs from the SD/SSD controller, you can't speculate meaningfully. |
| 11:04.55 | lucido2 | hello, can I modify the /etc/ssh/sshd_conf to allow my subnem or will it trigger some aegis lock? |
| 11:05.11 | SpeedEvil | I note that at least some failures on n900 are simply bond failures, and reflowing the eMMC makes it work again |
| 11:05.19 | SpeedEvil | - one user reported this |
| 11:05.28 | Avengence | I know in one case the controller on the SSD failed, leaving the only course to physically destroy the device and forgo warranty since there was no way to erase the data before returnig it |
| 11:05.54 | djszapi | there is accelerator for crypto, but it consumes battery too. |
| 11:06.00 | Avengence | i can't accurately speculate, but it meaningful to say they are doing something just plain wrong |
| 11:06.28 | jonni | lucido2: that file is not protected by refhashlist, so you can edit it. you can check with grep filename /var/lib/aegis/refhashlist |
| 11:07.07 | SpeedEvil | Avengence: It might be, but you can't really say that, over mechanical/electrical defects. |
| 11:07.15 | SpeedEvil | Avengence: Also - encryption |
| 11:07.31 | Avengence | for myself personally, I refuse to use SSD for anything until I get one that exposes the raw nand. I don't trust the controllers, the firmware on all of them is loaded with bugs and adds complication. the performance and flash life would both improve if they were directly used by a filesystem that was written for flash. using a filesystem designed for spinning disk atop flash with a remapper is completely stupid. |
| 11:08.25 | SpeedEvil | very much so. |
| 11:13.19 | Avengence | ugh, why are there no manpages on N9? |
| 11:13.45 | jonni | takes too much room |
| 11:13.50 | SpeedEvil | Users are all expected to be experts, so not need manpages. |
| 11:14.47 | djszapi | it was a high demand 2 years ago to reduce those. |
| 11:15.08 | astraljava | Who users manpages locally anymore, when you got google & all the forums in the world? Besides, aren't we supposed to have upgraded to TexInfo already? :D |
| 11:15.18 | Avengence | I have 64GB of space, its mostly empty. manpages are important when using stuff like busybox where its up to the whim of the person compiling it what optiopns actually are present |
| 11:15.34 | SpeedEvil | The manpages are the least of my worries about the platform. |
| 11:16.32 | Avengence | gnu info can fuck off, along with most other gnu trash. when I encounter software that has a manpage saying simply "see info", then I delete that garbage and find a better alternative |
| 11:16.46 | jonni | Avengence: most of them are massstorege fat, only couple gigs of ext4, so man pages eat too much space |
| 11:17.49 | Avengence | google is barely useful thanks to seo fags. forums rarely have any correct) solutions |
| 11:18.03 | Avengence | fat and ext4 on nand? wtf |
| 11:18.16 | astraljava | Well, if we're being serious |
| 11:18.26 | astraljava | If you can google, manpages are online. |
| 11:18.34 | astraljava | Well okay, not always, but most often. |
| 11:18.40 | Avengence | manpages for the N9 specifically? |
| 11:19.02 | astraljava | Ahh... yeah. Sorry, I didn't realize which channel I was on. Sorry for the noise. |
| 11:19.03 | Avengence | or manpages for linux whatever and then just guess at how applicable they are to this instance |
| 11:19.07 | jonni | Avengence: basicly you have 60gigs vfat which is your mass storege, 2gigs ext4 as /home/ and 2gigs ext4 as / |
| 11:19.54 | Avengence | why cfat instead of ext4? why either of those instead of something like jffs2? |
| 11:20.16 | jonni | Avengence: because of windows users :) |
| 11:21.29 | Avengence | i'm so very tempoted to just reroll the whole OS on this thing... homedir is too small, root is too small, most of the storage is trapped in a useless place using a crap filesystem |
| 11:22.27 | Avengence | ffs, it's a linux device, its going to write to a dos filesystem and not be able to store any proper metadata or have to package that up in some awful hack. that's just.. dumb |
| 11:22.36 | jonni | Avengence: device has sfdisk for repartioning, and there are few wiki pages out there for resising the N9 partitions |
| 11:22.53 | jonni | resizing even |
| 11:23.24 | djszapi | Avengence: I can do a community manpage package for you :) |
| 11:24.01 | Avengence | resize is one thing, but I'm looking at changing the layout completely. basically, I was 2 filesystems, root that is in the clear and /home/user that is encrypted (plus whatever stuff like /dev and /tmp that are not real) |
| 11:24.04 | SpeedEvil | Avengence: There is no good solution. |
| 11:24.25 | SpeedEvil | Avengence: The only alternative for 'real' users would be to build a fake filesystem on the fly, on plug-in. |
| 11:24.42 | Avengence | djszapi: if they are accurate manpages installable from a .deb, that would be great. don't forget to include man itself with the pages |
| 11:24.54 | SpeedEvil | Which would imply that the fs would still have to be effectively unmounted. |
| 11:25.10 | SpeedEvil | I assume there are no manpages for internal nokia stuff alas. |
| 11:25.31 | djszapi | it is called SDK |
| 11:26.04 | djszapi | but an average user does not need a manpage after, maximum helps which are available. |
| 11:26.09 | Avengence | those would be most useful, but at least some of the nokia stuff has reasonable usage output. i.e. qmftool prints enough to write a basic manpage for it. the stuff in busybox on the other hand doesn't |
| 11:26.10 | djszapi | after all* |
| 11:27.37 | Avengence | average user would have probably hit reset long ago when mail stopped working instead of flipping on dev mode and digging into the problem. after all, that's the only solution posted anywhere on the forums (or the variant, delete all accounts, delete .qmf dir, reboot, try again, then reset device if still borked) |

| 11:29.51 | djszapi | well, a developer can type "man ls" into google. |
| 11:30.10 | jonni | and you can just scp -r QtSDK/Maemo/4.6.2/sysroots/fremantle-arm-sysroot-20.2010.36-2-slim/usr/share/man to your device and you have man pages. |
| 11:30.10 | djszapi | (or just on the host system, so why waste space unneccesarily?) |
| 11:30.13 | Avengence | but I also think average user doesn't buy this phone for trhe reason I did. I got pissed at iphone rubbish as apple kept taking away work features (added by hacks) and adding trash i don't want, I bought N9 because I want a prong wayhone open enough that I can control the direction it goes when Nokia drops it or tries to go the w |
| 11:31.00 | djszapi | you can control it; I do not understand the problem. |
| 11:31.17 | djszapi | I am pretty sure (as I said yesterday) there is going to be a post-Harmattan community team making releases. |
| 11:31.19 | jonni | Nemo is then the way to go if you want full control :) |
| 11:31.34 | Avengence | well, to be more explicit, the df in busybox on the N9 is missing a whole pile of options and it doesn't match df or man df on my host system |
| 11:31.41 | djszapi | Nemo is a Ui, not platform |
| 11:31.52 | djszapi | I would use the term "Mer" ;-) |
| 11:32.16 | jonni | Avengence: you can always download N9 sources for busybox and see it from there :) |
| 11:32.29 | Avengence | yes, that was part of the buying decision. I know some people with N800 and N900 who use community built OS instead of what Nokia gives. I intend to do the same, just didn't expect to need to do it so soon |
| 11:33.01 | Avengence | jonni: I will probably be downloading all the sources Nokia shares once I am back home |
| 11:33.09 | djszapi | when did you jump into the Harmattan world ? (It has been pretty known for a while what is going on) :) |
| 11:33.42 | Avengence | this week, when the dead laptop forced me to figure out what is going on with this thing sooner rather than later |
| 11:36.33 | Avengence | quick count, df is missing 8 of the 14 flags documented in the 'host' manpage. If replacing the OS, I would most likely drop busybox and include all the real utilities rather than stripped stuff |
| 11:37.06 | *** join/#harmattan arekinath (~quassel@pdpc/supporter/student/arekinath) |
| 11:39.28 | djszapi | Avengence: df is probably busybox df, not really your host linux df. |
| 11:40.16 | djszapi | I would expect the same opportunities, otherwise why busybox after all if not truncated in senses ? |

| 11:47.53 | Avengence | djszapi: it is documented there, in a way so abbreviated that the original manpage is still needed for the details on the options. I guiess that's to be expected, minimal implementation with minimal documentation. can you tell I hate busybox? |
| 11:48.30 | Corsac | grmbl, all sms from/to a contact are magically gone |
| 11:49.04 | djszapi | Avengence: I think you are upset, and you now find every minor missing bit as a huge issues. Might go away when you chill out. ;) |
| 11:51.57 | Avengence | I like the device experience as a user for first month or so, but shortly after PR1.1 I had no working email and no useful solutions on bug tracker, forums, etc so I went at it myself and came here when I figured out what went wrong but hjadn't figured out why. Since then, I've been poking and the more I do so the more I realize that it's pretty on the surface but ugly underneath, meaning more rework than anticipated. Some of this I'm |
| 11:51.58 | Avengence | just trying to understand why and some I'm just checking to ensure my interpretation is correct. |
| 11:53.12 | djszapi | the why for a man page is that what has been told above: no need for average user, so why waste space by default ? Developers can make a manpage package. I think it is reasonable in /my/ opinion. |
| 11:53.17 | Avengence | It might have helped to install the SDK and read it's docs. I wanted to do that before, but it's HUGE and if your only internet access is slow wwan with charge per MB used, downloading a >1GB SDK for the docs is a lottle excessive |
| 11:53.42 | Avengence | reasonable: make manpages one of the packages installable after switching on developer mode |
| 11:53.49 | djszapi | you can read the SDK online, I guess. |
| 11:54.01 | djszapi | why ? |
| 11:54.09 | djszapi | I can install a manpage in "user" mode. |
| 11:54.45 | jonni | and you can ask nokia to send N9 source packages to you with DVD, and they send it for free to your postal address. |
| 11:55.11 | Avengence | It's only a little less than a week ago when I hopped to next location I have use on dsl line (768k down) without small usage cap, so I downloaded that monster and installed it but then that was the laptop that crapped out 2 days later. So I have to fetch it again on this one, whihc I haven't bothered with yet. |
| 11:55.43 | Avengence | jonni: relies on having postal address that is mine. I might just do that when I get back home |
| 11:56.12 | djszapi | I have never downloaded the SDK, just read online, but as jonni said: feel free to request a dvd to your current reside (does not matter who is the apartment owner). |
| 11:56.35 | Avengence | djszapi: why developer mode? because without it I don't have terminal or ssh. What I mean is I hit that dev mode switch, and I get options to install stuff like debugger, profiler, etc. Why no docs/manpages option on that list? |
| 11:56.52 | *** join/#harmattan lucido2 (~chris@168.120.45.68) |
| 11:57.14 | djszapi | Avengence: because not enough interest in that from users ? |
| 11:57.42 | djszapi | Avengence: also, you can install store packages at least which should be doable after all. |
| 11:58.07 | Avengence | djszapi: it took a month for first mail to arrive at last address, where I was only at for a month. Now stuff is hitting there and I'm elsewhere. what fun it is to be on ass end of nowhere |
| 11:58.40 | djszapi | if you change apartments repeatedly every single month, you do not just have a problem with Nokia DVD delivery ;-) |
| 11:58.50 | Avengence | where does nokia look for user interest? I'll go file a need for it (and reiterate the need for CardDAV) |
| 11:58.53 | Corsac | pff, having the sms is the tracker db is really a pain |
| 11:59.37 | Avengence | I know, but at end of this month I get to go home (visas granted just a few days ago, have to arrange for earlier return than anticipated) |
| 11:59.42 | jonni | Avengence: https://harmattan-bugs.nokia.com |

| 13:11.40 | marsje | djszapi: damn |
| 13:11.47 | marsje | why all these silly restrictions? |
| 13:12.00 | marsje | it makes no sense to me... |
| 13:12.01 | djszapi | you mean to have a secure platform ? |
| 13:12.05 | marsje | yes |
| 13:12.10 | Avengence | what is dangerous about mounting things on the phone? |
| 13:12.27 | marsje | as long as I am the one doing it |
| 13:12.29 | djszapi | because that is the point of an average user. You can use open mode with loosing warranty, if you wish. |
| 13:12.46 | marsje | not sure what openmode is |
| 13:12.55 | SpeedEvil | Open mode cannot void warranty legally in many aspects. |
| 13:12.57 | marsje | but it soundslike something I want |
| 13:12.58 | djszapi | http://maemo.cloud-7.de/HARM/N9/openmode_kernel_PR1.1/ |
| 13:13.15 | Avengence | its easier to install packages from 3rd party sources. that is more 'dangerous' than mounting the filesystem of your choice on your device (which will usually be a fs you control) |
| 13:13.58 | djszapi | how to install third party apps on your device with Nokia softwares and OVI checked ones ? |
| 13:14.20 | djszapi | that should not be possible either. |
| 13:14.31 | djszapi | just on your wish. |
| 13:15.11 | Corsac | can I copy/paste the number I got a sms from? |
| 13:16.07 | djszapi | SpeedEvil: as far as I can tell, I get a warranty void screen. |
| 13:16.21 | Avengence | djszapi: err, i can flip one switch in settings (not even turn on dev mode), ok the warning, copy any .deb file i want over usb in mass storage mode, use any of the free filemanagers from ovo store to 'run' it and the package intalls |
| 13:16.27 | SpeedEvil | Warranty void screen does not actually mean much legally. |
| 13:16.30 | marsje | this openmode sounds a lot like "rooting" on a iPhone or android phone |
| 13:16.53 | SpeedEvil | Nokias legal department does not always properly understand national laws. |
| 13:16.54 | marsje | can I have this openmode permanently? |
| 13:17.09 | djszapi | why not ? just flash it ? |
| 13:17.27 | marsje | anyone here is using this? |
| 13:18.04 | Avengence | openmode sounds like what I want, to bad it isn't better documented anywhere. the first question is, how does upgrade to 1.2 happen? I have to flash to stock 1.2 and then open 1.2, or straight 1.1 open to 1.2 open? |
| 13:18.06 | djszapi | Avengence: mass storage is not explicit, you need to allow it. Not sure if it can be changed from code in the settings. |
| 13:18.30 | Avengence | mass storage is an option when i plug in usb. it asks sync or mass storage every time |
| 13:18.31 | djszapi | (my guess would be not) |
| 13:18.59 | djszapi | Avengence: such a file manager should not pass OVI for fun. |
| 13:19.14 | djszapi | since it is dangerous in the sense as you have just mentioned above. |
| 13:19.43 | jonni | you can just use search instead of filemanagers anyways |
| 13:19.52 | Avengence | File Manager Beta, featrured app in ovi store, will install .deb files with single tap |
| 13:19.58 | djszapi | Avengence: http://maemo.cloud-7.de/HARM/N9/openmode_kernel_PR1.1/ -> it /is/ documented there. |
| 13:20.01 | djszapi | keep reading. |
| 13:20.25 | *** join/#harmattan Smtih (~degtep@93.88.184.12) |
| 13:20.36 | djszapi | also, copying third party deb should also be checked in OVI |
| 13:20.45 | djszapi | so I do not see theoritically how it could occur, if OVI works fine. |
| 13:20.52 | jonni | but yes in 1.2, you need to go for stock 1.2 first, wait that someone ask PR1.2 kernel sources from Nokia, someone to compile new kernel, and then switch again to open mode |
| 13:21.09 | djszapi | so OVI should check many things over there already. |
| 13:21.27 | djszapi | but theoritically staright-forward defense mechanism. |
| 13:21.48 | Avengence | jonni: thanks, the page I read (linked by djszapi) only says I will haefv to reflash eventually, but not explicitly to what |
| 13:22.19 | Avengence | OVI waht is checking? the store is checking what an apps does after its installed, or does OVI cover more than the store? |
| 13:22.35 | jonni | Avengence: changing -b flag to -f flag, will flash the kernel instead just loading it to ram |
| 13:22.37 | djszapi | First, OVI is the store itself |
| 13:22.50 | Avengence | I mean the OVI term, which seem ambigous and I thought they were dropping anywhat, called Nokia Store now |
| 13:22.51 | djszapi | Second, they have binary scanner tools, and all that jazz, thus it is a bit more than you think. |
| 13:23.25 | djszapi | Avengence: I do not see the problem with the instruction above, works fine for 1.1 |
| 13:23.32 | djszapi | they will probably update it when needed in PR1.2 |
| 13:23.49 | Avengence | so anyway, the store includes at least one app that will install an .deb file if its on the device and I have set the switch to allow installing non-store apps. flipping that switch gives some silly warning, says nothing of warranty |
| 13:24.45 | djszapi | anyway, it is a weak reasoning to say if there is a hole "A", we should make much more. |
| 13:24.51 | Avengence | I can shortcut the process further if I turn on developer mode as I can take the link from the builtin browser that is crippled and paste to terminal where i use wget to fetch the deb and tehn install, no need for desktop and usb |
| 13:24.59 | djszapi | (even if I do not see the hole "A" here) |
| 13:25.27 | Avengence | I can speed it up even more by installing firefox that way and then use it to download .deb files and go 'run' them to install |
| 13:25.28 | djszapi | how can you turn the developer mode on from code, and why do you think if there is such an option, OVI does not check ? |
| 13:26.15 | djszapi | what you do manually is your decision after all; let it open mode, developer mode or so forth (inside the available frame) |
| 13:26.28 | Avengence | the point is, mounting a filesystem of the users choice is akin to inserting an sd card, and actually probably less dangerous than using mass storage mode (since in that case a windows box could delete everything, corrupt files, try to install virus, etc) |
| 13:26.42 | djszapi | I could mount /anything/ in. |
| 13:26.51 | SpeedEvil | Mounting noexec - sure |
| 13:26.53 | SpeedEvil | like vfat |
| 13:27.09 | Avengence | there is little to no danger in mounting a filesystem |
| 13:27.30 | Avengence | there IS threoretical danger in installing arbitrary software that isn't signed |
| 13:27.31 | SpeedEvil | Mounting, and paying attention to execution permission bits - well that's a clear risk. |
| 13:27.50 | Avengence | the former is not allowed, but the later is by flipping one switch and OKing a warning |
| 13:27.52 | djszapi | Avengence: no there is no theoritical danger. |
| 13:28.03 | djszapi | there is (if any) only practical in the OVI QA process. |
| 13:28.26 | Avengence | I'm talking about software NOT through OVI, gezz |
| 13:28.39 | djszapi | and how would that software go to your device ? |
| 13:28.40 | Avengence | you see firefox in ovi store? nope, but I installed it |
| 13:29.00 | djszapi | well, it is up to you what you do with your device. |
| 13:29.04 | Avengence | ffs, read what I typed. i got it there htrough terminal and wget, but could do the same with mass storage mode |
| 13:29.06 | djszapi | but such a software will not come to OVI |
| 13:29.10 | djszapi | (a.k.a. to average user) |
| 13:29.34 | Avengence | average user will find instructions for instaling with mass storage mode and file manager on many sites |
| 13:29.52 | Avengence | the whole point is, what 'danger' could mounting a filesystem present? NONE |
| 13:30.06 | djszapi | no, the average user, like my mom, will not do such things |
| 13:30.16 | djszapi | they will just well use ovi, and nothing anything fancy on a developer website. |
| 13:30.53 | Avengence | the average user, when they can't freakin' copy text from a website on N9, will google for how, and they will find instructions for installing firefox and opera mini exactly as i described on multiple sites as both those will solve their problem |
| 13:30.59 | djszapi | I could mount anything, as I said above. |
| 13:31.13 | djszapi | so if an executable reads a file in a directory for its process, I mount something completely irrelevant |
| 13:31.26 | djszapi | which messes up the operation of the process into malicious usage. |
| 13:31.33 | djszapi | I am kinda out-of-the-luck. |
| 13:31.43 | Avengence | mount anything requires going open mode. that's a lot more of a barrier than it is to install anything I please |
| 13:31.59 | djszapi | that is what the open mode was designed for ... |
| 13:32.12 | Avengence | oh, I can understand protecting mounting over /usr/bin for example, but not allowing to mount into the homedir is crazy |
| 13:32.21 | djszapi | why ? |
| 13:32.34 | CissWit | Avengence: how did you install firefox on your n9 ? |
| 13:32.36 | djszapi | I write an application getting the parameters or anything from that folder, and then you mount something. |
| 13:32.48 | djszapi | the process gets messed up. |
| 13:32.58 | Avengence | nameone app that will magically run a binary without user request just because it's in a folder under their homedir |
| 13:33.56 | Avengence | CissWit: I fetched the .deb file with wget and used file managger to install the deb. i could have done same without dev mode by putting the file on it with usb mass storage mode and then same install from file manager |
| 13:34.34 | djszapi | I would be unhappy if you replace my vim configuration file by mounting something else in there. |
| 13:34.44 | djszapi | and my vim starts working completely differently. |
| 13:35.04 | Avengence | you would be the one replacing your own vim config. you are the user |
| 13:35.05 | CissWit | Avengence: where did you get the .deb from ? From romaxa.bolshe.net ? |
| 13:35.20 | Avengence | remeber, the user owns the device, not the mnufacturer or developers |
| 13:35.21 | jonni | Avengence: only if you enable 3rd party debs from the ui, unsinged debs otherwise are not installed even if you start it from filemanager. |
| 13:35.41 | djszapi | Avengence: except that, it would be a plus check in OVI |
| 13:35.44 | djszapi | for /every/ mount |
| 13:35.52 | Avengence | jonni: yes, i know, i've said that. why do we get that swith but we dont get a switch that says "Let me mount filesystems FFS" |

| 13:36.15 | djszapi | and I bet, they do not have enough resource for that, and it could not be probably properly done without forbidden certain external fses where the contents is dynamic anyway. |
| 13:36.37 | jonni | because you can brick the device if you mount to wrong place, installing deb package ususally does not brick |
| 13:36.49 | djszapi | yes, you can brick the device |
| 13:37.01 | djszapi | that is also a use case along with all the malicious and other use cases. |
| 13:37.27 | Avengence | CissWit: first google hit http://wapreview.mobi/15780/ |
| 13:37.56 | Avengence | jonni: explain how mounting under the homedir will brick the device |
| 13:38.22 | jonni | I said wrong place, not homedir |
| 13:38.27 | *** part/#harmattan mece (~mece@static-92-33-31-37.sme.bredbandsbolaget.se) |
| 13:38.46 | Avengence | I already said I can understand mounting over root not allowed, but mounting into homedir is always relatively safe so saying no mounting anywhere is just dumb |
| 13:39.00 | djszapi | again, I would not like any apps mounting into my home. |
| 13:39.27 | Avengence | then don't use them |
| 13:39.31 | Avengence | your choice as a user |
| 13:39.38 | djszapi | no, it is not my choice |
| 13:39.42 | djszapi | if OVI does not make proper check |
| 13:39.43 | Avengence | right now, nokia hasn't given us the choice to mount |
| 13:39.44 | jonni | well in homedir usecase, you mount to homedir/foo, make deb package which installs itself to homedir/foo, you happen to lose tcpip connection -> device is brick since refhaslist check fails |
| 13:39.50 | djszapi | and OVI says it is safe. |
| 13:40.01 | djszapi | also, if someone makes a symlink to home from etc |
| 13:40.04 | djszapi | you can also brick the stuff |
| 13:40.40 | djszapi | I think it was way easier when OVI decided about this credential than having this risk in OVI apps. |
| 13:40.46 | Avengence | someone please explain MALF since the accronym is not expanded where its used |
| 13:40.59 | djszapi | malfunction.. |
| 13:42.00 | jonni | usually happens if files sha1 checksum does not match reflashlist, or if you modify system critical binaries or configs |
| 13:42.05 | Avengence | so when it says I'll get MALF when going back to stock from open mode, which is apparently required, what is the reprecussion of that? |
| 13:42.35 | djszapi | ~malf |
| 13:42.35 | infobot | hmm... malf is http://maemo.cloud-7.de/Aegis-kills-device.jpg |
| 13:42.52 | djszapi | that is a malf screen :) |
| 13:43.23 | jonni | that malf happens, if you install any deb package durin open mode session, because refhashlist is signed with open mode key, and going back to secure mode, will lead signature not matching.... well not exactly accurate, but about :) |
| 13:45.05 | Avengence | so to recover from that, what is the solution? |
| 13:45.13 | jonni | (actually its files.tcb which is signed,but thats details) :) |
| 13:45.33 | jonni | Avengence: recovering from open mode malf, -> complete reflash to stock |
| 13:45.56 | Avengence | or in other words, what is the practical solution to get from open 1.1 to open 1.2 without loosing everything |
| 13:46.20 | jonni | good backups with tar :) |
| 13:46.27 | djszapi | there is no "open 1.2" in the first place. |
| 13:46.43 | djszapi | but obviously backups as jonni said. |
| 13:48.27 | Avengence | well, when 1.2 comes out, there will be open 1.2 as there's open 1.1. it would be desirable to upgrade without passing through stock 1.2 regardless whether there is malf |
| 13:48.40 | djszapi | no need to speculate what is gonna happen, we will see. |
| 13:48.56 | jonni | ah finally my ovi qa passed trial version for my app |
| 13:48.59 | djszapi | cook with the existing ingredients ;-) |
| 13:49.02 | Avengence | it sounds a lot like the experience i had on iphone and the challenge to restore things to some similar state after eahc os update, which usually involved more than one reflash cycle |
| 13:49.10 | jonni | so can put next version in the queue |
| 13:50.24 | djszapi | jonni: congrats =) |
| 13:50.39 | Avengence | I have a feeling that what I will end up doing is something like rsync the whole mess out somewhere, play with open 1.1, and then confirm I can build that myself and proceed to build something a bit more sane but still able to run the regular apps (both nokia and 3rd party, store or not) and hope the process works for 1.2 when it happens |
| 13:50.48 | jonni | personnally I just use stock firmware which I have hacked open, so I dont have to worry about restoring things, but unfortunately thats not what normal users can do. |

| 14:01.26 | Avengence | separately, is there a good reference somewhere on the hardware in the N9? what I've found poking around raises questions. i.e. The TI wlan chip has bluetooth, but I've read in several places that the bluetooth used is a broadcom chip which also includes FM Rx (the model up of the TI chip has FM Rx/Tx and GPs, all in one RF) |

| 14:24.33 | djszapi | it is a good question why we stopped using UBIFS. |
| 14:25.48 | Avengence | lizardo: so the WL1271 is the bluetooth as well as wlan? any idea then why turning on FM Rx also turns on bluetooth? what I read said it was because they were same chip and it was all on/all off (and also mentioned broadcom) |
| 14:26.09 | Avengence | eMMC = onenand? |
| 14:27.14 | Avengence | any way to bypass the mess and go direct, or at least to get real stats on what is going on in the mapper so the system can be aware of the health (and potential override it's decisions, i.e. avoid writing a weak area it doen't want to take out of service) |

| 14:28.33 | Avengence | ah, two flash chips. basically onenand is root and eMMC is user space? |
| 14:29.04 | djszapi | mmm, we have not used ubifs, good question why not. |
| 14:32.24 | lizardo | Avengence: to enable FMrx , you had to issue a vendor specific HCI (bluetooth) command, because they share the same chip. But I think there are other people here more familiar with FMrx on N9 (javispedro comes to mind, but he is not online ATM) |
| 14:36.26 | djszapi | Avengence: cat /proc/mtd |
| 14:36.37 | Avengence | is onenand only for kernel/initrd images? assuming the eMMC is 64GB, adding up the space of /, /home and /home/user/MyDocs adds up to about 64(fake)GB |
| 14:37.00 | djszapi | and: cat /proc/mounts | grep mmc |
| 14:37.51 | djszapi | I think your best bet is to simply let the flash translation layer do all the wear levelling for you. If you repeatedly write to the same block, it will slowly migrate around the device naturally. |
| 14:37.59 | Avengence | is /dev/root really /dev/mmcblk0p2? |
| 14:38.03 | *** part/#harmattan jpnurmi (jpnurmi@hilla.kapsi.fi) |
| 14:38.16 | djszapi | root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 |
| 14:38.32 | SpeedEvil | It does not migrate around the whole device - at least according to public documents. |
| 14:38.51 | SpeedEvil | The device is typically segmented into (say) thousand block (130K blocks) regions. |
| 14:39.05 | Avengence | ok, so the blast of onenand errors is not so bad as that arae is infrequently rewritten. all the active FSes are on eMMC and if I trust its magic I might be ok (so can probably juts go pure ext4) |
| 14:39.06 | SpeedEvil | The wear leveling happens over these block segments. |
| 14:39.30 | SpeedEvil | Avengence: you can monitor the bad block level - or at least you can on the n900 |

| 14:40.45 | Avengence | there won't be any ubi anything if mtd us used |
| 14:41.00 | *** join/#harmattan etrunko (~etrunko@32.104.18.240) |
| 14:41.03 | djszapi | exactly. |
| 14:41.45 | djszapi | SpeedEvil: Ah, OK. Maybe I was misinterpretting something one of the FS guys said. They tried to induce failures by writing to a single block repeatedly, and said somehting like that after several million iterations, every eraseblock had been used about 10 times. |
| 14:41.47 | Avengence | so, eMMC lies about space like most disk storage, and the datastorage page reflects that (to coincide with marketing) |
| 14:42.16 | Avengence | is it documented anywhere waht pars of the UI use fakeMB/fakeGB and waht parts use realMB/realGB? |
| 14:42.24 | SpeedEvil | eMMC probably has a couple of extra percent of space. |
| 14:42.38 | SpeedEvil | This is split over some thousands of wear leveling sectors. |
| 14:42.52 | SpeedEvil | So there are a few blocks spare per leveling sector |
| 14:43.00 | djszapi | It might be that these segments are larger than our whole onenand, for example. |
| 14:43.04 | SpeedEvil | yes. |
| 14:43.44 | Avengence | so basically the real flash is real 64GB, but to make room for wear level, they only expose about 60GB (64fakeGB) and call it 64 because then it matches to lying harddrive manufacturers |
| 14:43.48 | SpeedEvil | So you might have - for example - 130M of wear leveling segment, with 24 spare blocks - 2M |
| 14:44.49 | SpeedEvil | If you write to this wear leveling sector a single block of 130K, repeatedly, then you have about - if the endurance of the flash is 100kcycles - about 100m writes. |
| 14:45.12 | Avengence | that would explain a bit why when I work directly with flash the sizes make sense, but all these devices (SD,MMC,SSD,etc) seem to be missing space |
| 14:45.46 | SpeedEvil | The above is all pieced together from various sources. |
| 14:45.53 | SpeedEvil | It's not actually documented by teh makers. |
| 14:46.10 | Avengence | but anyway, how much of the N9 UI uses real measurement and how much uses fake? |
| 14:46.19 | djszapi | the eraseblocks are 256KiB according to the above, so it only takes 16Ki of them to cover the entire device |
| 14:46.22 | SpeedEvil | The really fun bit would be if you could reprogram the little micro in the SD card. |
| 14:47.10 | Avengence | the controller in sd cards is often not reflashable. all its login is in a mask rom for cheapest mass production. same for usb mem sticks |
| 14:47.52 | SpeedEvil | Possibly. |
| 14:47.59 | SpeedEvil | But sometimes flash can be cheaper than mask. |
| 14:48.41 | Avengence | SSD gets a bit more complicated and and so more necessary to make them reprogrammable to fix some of the most serious bugs. also, plenty of room to store the firmware with all that flash so controller only needs to be smart enough to read that out at power on |
| 14:49.35 | djszapi | I presume their operations are very hard coded. They're not really servicable parts. |
| 14:49.46 | SpeedEvil | The above is largely pointless. |
| 14:49.59 | SpeedEvil | Even if they are reprogrammable - which is not impossible - they will be completely locked. |
| 14:51.19 | Avengence | ugh, File Manager doesn't use real sizes |

| 14:53.01 | Avengence | so I guess I have to do some digging to figure out which apps I can trust and which I can't |
| 14:53.44 | djszapi | Avengence: yes, that is what I was talking about previously. |
| 14:53.59 | djszapi | you might now get my point ;-) |
| 14:54.12 | Avengence | djszapi: point about what earlier? |
| 14:55.01 | Avengence | since there have been numerous topics, be specific about which point and to what earlier |
| 14:55.21 | djszapi | mmh, if you do not ring a bell, it might be that you do not still understand. :) |
| 14:55.31 | djszapi | it does not ring a bell* |
| 14:55.56 | Avengence | no, it's because you are being vague. |
| 14:56.18 | djszapi | but ideally, people would like to trust the OVI coming out as much as possible. Disabling the mounting is a very quick way of doing it. |
| 14:56.38 | djszapi | OVI application* |
| 14:57.03 | Avengence | oh, you mean about trusting apps. I am talkig trust in a different sort. These are two OVI apps, but one liers aboutfile size, thus I can't trust it to accurately tell me the size |
| 14:57.25 | djszapi | that is the same trust indeed. |
| 14:57.44 | Avengence | which raises the question, are these both doing it in the app, or is one using an API and then which one does it which way and is that API the one that is accurate or inaccurate |
| 14:58.30 | Avengence | it might be the case the platform is wrong (e.g. Mac OS x 10.6/10.7) and then only those which don't use the platform API are trustable |

| 22:18.34 | ieatlint | haha |
| 22:19.25 | ieatlint | their experience and claims all sound legit |
| 22:19.42 | ieatlint | you'll get nearly daily updates if you have the internal firmware |
| 22:21.49 | ieatlint | although, probably worth noting that just because it says "pr1.2" doesn't make it pr1.2, and this is actually just an internal build |
| 22:22.40 | ieatlint | hehehe " I am not sure but I think my friend at nokia gave me the wrong one... the box was not sealed." |

| 23:00.25 | javispedro | I can't wait for PR1.2 either, I wan't Bluetooth MAP support :D |
| 23:00.53 | ieatlint | is that expected in 1.2? |
| 23:01.14 | ieatlint | my biggest hope is still nfc work.. |
| 23:01.34 | javispedro | I can't know for sure (plans change daily seems...) but the code for it is around |
| 23:01.41 | ieatlint | if it gets SNEP, it'll allow p2p exchanges of things like vcards with android phones |
| 23:01.54 | javispedro | s/wan't/want/ (oops :) ) |
| 23:04.31 | javispedro | I thought NFC just fires up Bluetooth for doing usual OBEX |
| 23:05.51 | ieatlint | that's what nokia does, yes |
| 23:06.24 | ieatlint | but while they followed the nfc forum specs, they were the only manufacturer to implement that scheme, so it only worked between nokia phones |
| 23:06.59 | ieatlint | and a bluetooth pairing to send over a ~1kb vcard? |
| 23:07.25 | javispedro | don't remember nfc bandwidth by heart |
| 23:07.39 | ieatlint | android had their own p2p mode for it, only worked on android devices (but was open standard, and was implemented in at least a couple apps on nokia devices) |
| 23:07.51 | javispedro | oh |
| 23:07.57 | javispedro | I guess that the propietary nfc stack on harm doesn't help |
| 23:08.15 | ieatlint | the android method would transfer in under a second |
| 23:08.48 | ieatlint | SNEP is a new official spec to do it, and android 4.0 implements it... really hoping nokia will jump on asap |
| 23:09.27 | ieatlint | the bandwidth of nfc is 424kbit per the spec, say 200kbit realistic |
| 23:09.40 | ieatlint | so it's very realistic to use it to transfer up to ~100kb without issue |
| 23:09.51 | javispedro | that sounds quite high |
| 23:10.12 | ieatlint | for 3mb images from the camera, the bluetooth method is better |
| 23:10.16 | javispedro | you can get some audio with that ... |
| 23:10.49 | ieatlint | if you want to hold your phone within 2cm of something, sure |
| 23:11.19 | javispedro | I'm just surprised, I thought it would be a few bits per second =) |
| 23:12.59 | javispedro | probably been reading RadioDataSystem manuals for too long |

| 23:20.53 | ieatlint | yeah, it's pretty robust, but you can get latency issues on some things |
| 23:21.21 | ieatlint | p2p is fast, but tag access is done in blocks, and if you have to issue a command for each block, it gets slow |
| 23:21.28 | merlin1991 | damn there were some docs on nfc how one can register a custom type to be automatically handeled by your app |
| 23:21.31 | merlin1991 | where? |
| 23:21.55 | javispedro | the only way to access the nfc api on harm is via qt mobility, so they must be there |
| 23:22.14 | merlin1991 | nah it wasn't qt mobility |
| 23:22.17 | ieatlint | unofficially you can do it via dbus, i'm told |
| 23:22.29 | ieatlint | but yeah, there's an xml file or something you set to add a type handler |
| 23:22.31 | javispedro | the qt mob api calls d-bus, and that is open, so you know the calls |
| 23:22.37 | merlin1991 | there were some user space tools you throw some xml at that register a ndef type to be handled by specific application |
| 23:22.45 | javispedro | but I don't think it's documented |
| 23:22.58 | ieatlint | javispedro: correct |
| 23:23.00 | merlin1991 | and it was documented in some pdf from developer.nokia.com |
| 23:23.07 | merlin1991 | lost his copy though |
| 23:23.26 | ieatlint | merlin1991: i know exactly what you're talking about.. trying to find it now too |
| 23:23.51 | javispedro | merlin1991, if you have a n9, apt-cache search nfc then dpkg -L on each of the packages that appear. One of them will have the binary you are looking for. |
| 23:24.04 | javispedro | brute force solution! :D |
| 23:24.18 | merlin1991 | javispedro: and then revers that one to find out the xml format? :D |
| 23:24.31 | javispedro | I was thinking putting that name on google :) |
| 23:24.35 | javispedro | *binary name |
| 23:24.49 | merlin1991 | not brute forcy enough :D |
| 23:25.43 | merlin1991 | while were on it, easy way to find out the imei from qt? |
| 23:25.53 | merlin1991 | or any other device specific identifier? |
| 23:26.11 | javispedro | I want one of those new fangled n9 thingies, why can those finnish guys steal them from nokia even with pr1.2?! I should be able to steal them too! |
